So for $8 total profit for the two playsets, he contributed to a false demand for a card that will plummet in price when the dust settles... Sweet payout.

Any good spec would know this card is not good in Modern, period. Any deck that runs an engine off of this card is already slow and janky, and will not last past the SURPRISE! stage. This doesn't even beat staple decks that it's supposed to be strong against, pre-sideboard.
